I would observe that one of the essential characteristics of theapparatus hereinbefore described resides in the horizontal arrangement'of the tubes and the electrodes. This arrangement is indispensable forallowing the metal bar to support-the discharger and to create completeindependence between the electrodes and the tube'or receiverwhicltsurrounds them.
